Give a man a game engine, and he'll have fun making a game. Teach a man to create an engine and... I dunno, he's still creating the, what is it, fifth iteration of his engine?

This would be horrible for small developers and might kill single player PC games entirely. A digital "used" game has no less value than a new product, so there will be no "long tail" for any developer as this will be covered by the second hand market.

A major difference between a classic roguelike and a roguelite lies in their dopamine reward mechanisms. While roguelites offer intermittent dopamine spikes through sudden big power boosts and meta awards, roguelikes elevate the dopamine baseline through the journey itself. 1/3
